#i'm just falling prey to my old enemy thinking i could put things off until i was feeling capable

[nephyscorner]

Hiiii my lovely baby! I just saw your request are open so I'm just stepping in! Could I please request a little scenario in which Zoro has a pretty strong argument with his S/o who used to be a Marine soldier and she leaves the ship and ends up getting hurt by one of her ex-comrades? And how would he react to that? 😊

( hope not to be too exhaustive baby! And hope that you like it! ) 😊

OMG my first request, thank you so much sweetheart ♥

As soon as I read it, the image appeared in my head, I hope you like it !!

You could feel the tears gathering in your eyes, but you weren't going to cry, not today.

It started as a quiet discussion, more like an exchange of words, but you didn't know if due to the stress of the fights in recent days or why, step by step the conversation became more intense, until both exchanged words that surely the day in the morning you would regret saying them.

You were with your boyfriend in the boys' room. Zoro looked away with a frown and you just gaped at him fighting not to cry.

- You're fucking bastard.- Your words came out as a growl from your throat, and then, you simply slammed out of the room. Zoro didn't hesitate to go behind you and stop you firmly grasping your arm

- Where do you think you are going? -His voice was calm but with a certain tinge of concern

- Away from you, from this damned ship, from everything.- You freed of his grip with a precise movement and went on deck.

- (Y / N) -Swaaan ~ -The cook cheerfully approached you but you stopped him suddenly

- No, not today. - Your angry face made his blood run cold. He wanted to ask you what had happened, but before he could react, you had already left the ship. He rushed in ready to confront Zoro. As soon as he found it, he immobilized him by holding one leg to his chest, pressing him against a wall.

- What the hell did you do to (Y / N)?

- What does it matter to you?

- She left the ship almost crying idiot! How are you going to do that to a beautiful lady?

- Whatever happens between us is none of your business ... now remove your leg before I cut it - With a swift movement he pulled out of his grip now pinning Sanji between one of his swords and the wall.

- You idiot! You know well there's a marine base here. They put a high price on her head and gave the order to kill if someone meets her.

- What makes you think I don't know, idiot? She's a very strong woman, that can defend herself. She isn't a crystal rose like you think they all are.

The argument would surely have continued for a long time, if Nami not come to hit both the head and bring them out of their idiocy.

- Calm down for a while. You -she said while pointing to Sanji- stop getting into other people's relationships, it's their problem and something they should fix, don't be intrusive. And you - turns to see Zoro - How can you leave your girlfriend as easy prey for the marine?, they have hundreds of soldiers! Go find her before something serious happens

Zoro was about to argue but he knew she was right. So he just turned to leave the boat, not saying a word or turning to see his nakama.

-------------------- Meanwhile --------------------

You had fled the ship and made sure you were alone before allowing your tears to shed. You leaned against a tree and hugged your knees while hiding your face in the crook of your arms. You aren't sure how long it has been since you stayed like this, but suddenly you heard a familiar voice.

- (Y / N), are you? - You raised your face and there was Colt, your old friend from the childhood and marine.

Both had grown up together, trained together, and luckily, you entered the marine together. You were inseparable. But as time passed, a need for freedom grew in your womb, for liberation. You disagreed on many of their policies. Colt felt it too, but unlike you, he was always a little scared. So when you met the Straw Hat Pirates, he understood your decision to drop everything and go with them. He even helped you escape, although that betrayal remorse haunted him all these years.

-If she isn't with us, she will be against us. And as such, we must end it without hesitation as soon as we see her. From today, she is considered a marine's enemy - The words of his superior echoed every day in his head.

- Colt, look how much you've grown! - A smile was drawn on your face when you saw your friend. You quickly dried your tears and hugged him tight. Unfortunately, you weren't reciprocated, so you slowly walked away and looked at him a little concerned - Is everything okay?

- I'm sorry (Y/N) - After his words you found him pointing a gun at you, with a bit shaky hand

- Uh ... C ... Colt, what is this? - You looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief

- Sorry, marine's instruction, if you aren't with us, you are one of them, so we must kill you

- ARE YOU CRAZY? It's ... It's me, (Y/N), how can you do this to me? INSTRUCTION? Did you get brainwashed? And the freedom you craved so much? You don't have to do it if you don't want to, you own your life, they can't tell you what to do. YOU ARE FREE TO CHOOSE.

- Sorry, it's my duty - he triggered the weapon against you, generating a deafening noise. You fell slumped to the ground, but thanks to his shaking hand, instead of hitting your chest, the bullet pierced a few inches higher. Colt had come up to finish you off, but when he aimed the gun again, this time at your head, a sharp blade appeared and cut off his hand, causing it and the gun to fall to the ground. Colt backed away howling in pain and when he looked up, he saw Zoro, preparing to use his Santoryu

- How dare you? -He growls placing the third sword in his mouth and pouncing on him ready to kill.

All the noise had attracted the attention of the rest of the soldiers, so didn't take long to surround the area. Zoro stood right in front of you to defend you from anyone who tried to take the opportunity to kill you, and the last thing you could see and hear before you passed out was how the soldiers tried to deal with Zoro, as he sent them flying through the air. one by one.

When you opened your eyes you were back at Going Merry, Chopper was finishing bandaging your wound, while Zoro was leaning against a wall further back.

- (Y / N)! (Y / N) You're okay !! I thought you wouldn't wake up, you lost a lot of blood and I was very scared !! -The little reindeer screamed while he tightly secured your bandages. - With this you should feel better in a while, but you're very weak, so please rest, I will tell Sanji to cook something for you to give you energy - You smiled and thanked him, to then see him leave the room.

You turned to see your boyfriend that just then, he turned his face to see you.

- Suppose I should thank you - you muttered as he approached the bed.

- Don't ever do something so stupid- He started by saying some angry, but then he sighed and put a hand on the back of his neck.

- I ... I'm so...- Before you could finish the sentence, you could feel how his lips were pressed against yours. A soft and loving kiss that you responded to with the same dedication. After a few moments he separates and rests his forehead against yours

- I was very worried, if I had been a second later... I'd never have forgiven myself. From now, let's solve things by talking, please...

@mer92 I hope you liked it sweetheart, and thank you very much for being my first request 💕

[land-of-classpects-and-analysis]

i hope this isn't a bother or a distraction to you right now, but could i get a little taste of an heir of life? i'm pretty sure i've seen you do other heirs and i really wanna see what amazing analysis you might have in store for the future when you do heirs!!

Of course you can have a small preview of, arguably, possibly one of my favorite Classpects! I can also promise you are most definitely not bothering nor distracting me from things, either!

For the sake of time and my wrists, I’ll drop in here what I’ve already said about the overall Heir Class!:

Heirs are those who subconsciously, almost instinctively, drift towards any and all instances of their Aspect. Whether it is always finding themself taking charge and being the leader, having a life of misery, suffering and pain with no real comfort to speak of, or fading into the shadows and remaining ignorant to the truths of a flawed system. The Heir is one who both gravitates towards their Aspect, but it is one that rarely often helps them - at least in the beginning.

It is because of this subconscious gravitation that the Heir is at risk of becoming fully submissive to the whims of their Aspect, losing every other sense of who they are in the process. While some Heirs may not see any problems with this, it is a thought that may startle and even turn Heirs into those who try to fight back against the strings their Aspect has tied to them. They are the only ones who can control their fates, whether it is by fighting back against and taking full control of their Aspect or allowing for it to fully overtake and override who they are, leaving them to be an unfortunate husk of who they once were.

Heirs are those who usually passively Manipulate their Aspect, or Manipulate through it. Their powers come to them naturally, after all, but their main problem is having to learn how to use their powers to benefit the team rather than only themselves. Overall, their personalities are often ones filled with passion and loyalty, especially when it comes to their opinions, values, and beliefs. Changing an Heir’s mind on something they enjoy can be difficult, sometimes even to the point where it feels like you are talking more to a wall than an actual person.

Now, as for the Heir of Life themself, they are simply someone who often tries to give too much of themself at once - they seek to heal and mend and fix what has been broken, wash away the scorched scars that cover those they love and the planet they love on, but they can’t. They are only human, and they can’t fix all that is wrong in the world. The Heir of Life does not care, though, as they will continue to try over, and over, and over again to fix as much as they can, to help as many people as they can at once, always taking on more weight of people’s issues all while trying to juggle their own. Although some of the Heir’s own friends may try and tell them to take a break, take care of themself, make boundaries, practice what they preach, and more, the Heir of Life may smile back at them oh-so-sweetly while promising that they will try, that they will do better about taking care of themself. Everyone knows, though, for they have all had this conversation one too many times, that the Heir of Life will always find a way to once again stretch themself too thin, set themself ablaze to keep others warm, sacrifice their own health so as to give more kindness and prosperity to the people in their lives who would not even think twice of returning the favor. The Heir of Life does not mind, though, because knowing they have made others happy is all they need. Right? Right?

The Heir of Life is someone who may naturally gravitate towards Life, the Aspect of growth, happiness, life itself, positivity, healing, and more. Because of this, they are someone who will often be the first responder to when someone asks for a shoulder to lean on, or a soul to listen to them vent. They are the person - the friend - who will drop everything they are doing and try to help someone find their way through the darkness of negativity they are experiencing. While they may have extensive knowledge of how to fix things, how to make things better, oftentimes the Heir of Life will find that their good-hearted actions will go to the people and places filled with selfishness. People who, admittedly, do not want to be fixed, or healed, or mended, but rather just want someone to coddle and enable their self-destructive behaviors while also leeching off of their loving ways. Yet they have so much love to give, so much empathy, sympathy, and compassion in their heart, that to even say no to giving love and healing to even the most rotten soul is something the Heir of Life can’t even bear to think about, even if it means continuing to hurt themself in the process.

However, while the Heir of Life may be able to ignore their own pain and suffering as they continue to coddle and enable the toxic, leeching behavior of others, as well as healing their own friends of their worries and problems. Except, there is one worry the Heir of Life will never be able to truly heal away from their true friends - and that is the worry that the Heir of Life may fully lose themself in the ways of healing, mending, and sewing things back together. Their friends - their true friends - are the ones who must sit and watch as the Heir continues to scratch themself out too thin until, finally, something snaps and the Heir of Life is sent spiraling into a mental state of pure and utter despair and anger. An Heir of Life at their worst can be a truly vicious and venomous person to be around, as they spare no expense as to who will be met with a snap and a bite from the Heir themself. Someone so sweet and unassuming becoming a force of overall destructive, for the self or otherwise, behavior, and who will take down anyone they deem to be worthy of experiencing the same despair as them is often a trademark trait of the Heir of Life.

It is a vicious and ever-spinning cycle for the Heir of Life; being an unrelenting healer, offering their help to all who will take it, falling prey to those who only seek to use and abuse the Heir, leaving their true friends to become bystander witnesses to the Heir’s suffering and grievances, and finally, the Heir having enough and reclaiming their right for self-care and self-love, all the while hurting many other people, good and bad, along the way. While it may be a cycle, much like of life and death, it is a cycle that can be broken. For as much as the Heir of Life loves to help as many as they can, once they come to realize how much their self-destructive ways harms not only themself, but also the friends who love and care for the Heir, they will discover that this isn’t who they truly want to be - they don’t want to give away all of their help to those who don’t deserve it, especially when they have people who are far more deserving of such tender-love-and-care. As such, the Heir of Life would have to find a way to break away from the strings of their Aspect, while also continuing to be the healer they so deeply desire to be.

For the powers, they are rather interesting when one takes a moment to contemplate them. After all, what does it mean to manipulate Life or even manipulate through it? Well, let’s try - keyword being try - to go over both options very, very briefly, so as to avoid any big spoilers before the time comes for the Heir of Life to fully shine! To start off, let’s go with the far more simple option of manipulating Life - though, as easy as it may sound, the fact that Life can stand for so many different things can put quite an interesting twist on this power. For now, let’s look towards the more literal version of Life, primarily with people’s life force as well as that of plant-life. An Heir of Life could come along and manipulate the life force of anyone they wanted to, whether it is by expanding a mortal’s lifespan by hundreds, thousands, perhaps even millions of years, or doing the exact opposite - manipulating someone’s life to become far more disheveled and closer to death. Of course, they could also manipulate someone’s Life in the form of aging certain parts of that person, while leaving everything else relatively untouched. If the Heir of Life so wanted, they could turn their enemy’s skeleton and/or insides into dust, leaving them hollow on the inside and, of course, dead. Then there is the manipulation of Life in the form of plants - which could become more akin to that of, perhaps, a type of Cleric or Warlock who has a domain or pact that allows for them to bring about a horrific army of plants. While they can’t exactly create these plants from thin air, so long as there is any sign of plant-life in the immediate area, the Heir of Life could so easily take it and turn it into something as simple as an ocean or mass of thorned tendrils, or give far more sentient life to the plants, making them an entire plant-based animal to do the Heir’s bidding more than anything.

As for the ability to manipulate through Life, this power is one that could take a far darker turn, especially if the Heir of Life using it has simply had enough of feeling like some old, beat-up, and thrown away doll. They would still be a healer, oh most certainly, but there would always be a small price for their helpful services. Heirs may be somewhat awkward individuals, but they still are people who attract others to them, one way or another. Because of this, if the Heir of Life truly wanted to play a little dirty, then they could use their Life powers as a means to twist the arms of those that have wronged them. After all, wouldn’t it be just a shame if people were to find out the star of a show was secretly some criminal, or that the person with a tragic home-life is just simply spoiled and not getting their way? Wouldn’t it just be a shame if all of these deep, deep dark secrets were to get out? The Heir of Life thinks so, and since people just love to come to them and talk about all of their problems, then the Heir believes their enemies would also agree how truly devastating it would be for the harsh truths to come out. If the Heir of Life wants to get something, then they know exactly how to get it.

Hopefully this helps to give you a little taste as to what the Heir of Life has to offer for when Month of the Heir comes rolling around!
